Hello,

When you say it won't accelerate, do you mean it has low power output?

There are a number of reasons why the engine can have low power. From a clogged air filter, weak fuel pump, bad mass air flow sensor etc.

Take a look at this helpful guide:

Is your check engine light illuminated? If so what code(s) are you getting?

Let me know a little bit more information about what you have been experiencing.

Thank you.
